반응은?

제목:"Are you _really_ a Wagnerphile?" quiz
날짜:2005-06-02 12:51:11 PST |
There've been a lot of really interesting discussions in this
group lately, but I'm wondering whether anyone is interested
in something a bit more whimsical. You've probably all seen
one or more of the multiple-choice questionnaires which make
the rounds from time to time, which if answered honestly are
alleged to be able to tell you something about yourself.
Well, perhaps we need one, so that we can each judge ourself
on our level of Wagnerphilia. Here's one to get it started;
does anyone feel like adding to the list?
Early one morning, just prior to whatever time the
alarm is set to, you and your life partner (or your
partner du jour, if you're that sort of person ;-)
are in the middle of a passionate, amorous moment,
when the clock radio switches on, and the station
it's tuned to happens to be broadcasting something
by Wagner. Do you ...
(A) Immediately switch it off and get back to the
business at hand?
(B) Leave it on, using the music to enhance your
experience?
(C) Abandon your lovemaking so that you can better
focus on the music?
(D) It would depend on _what_ Wagner excerpt they
were playing.
(PS: Inspired by an actual recent occurrence of exactly the
situation described. And no, I'm _not_ going to divulge what
my choice was. ;-)

"There was a young woman called Golda Whose lovers grew colder and colder For during love making She'd sing the earth-shaking Love theme from 'Tristan und Isolde'" You might be surprised to learn that the limerick quoted above was written by Isaac Asimov. In addition to all his other accomplishments (lecturing in chemistry, writing a commentary on the Bible, inventing the three laws of robotics, etc.), Asimov had a talent for writing limericks, most of which are less clean than the one quoted here -- and of course unsuited for a family forum such as this :-) Here is another relatively clean one: "How bitter was Joseph's existence When he found that his girl friend's insistence Meant that he'd have to wed her Before he could bed her She was simply a 'piece de resistance'". -- Derrick Everett (deverett at c2i.net) ====== Writing from 59°54'N 10°36'E ====== http://home.c2i.net/monsalvat/index.htm http://home.c2i.net/monsalvat/wagnerfaq.htm
